- Brief Summary
This study is to determine if two breakfasts of equivalent calories, an oat based breakfast cereal or a ready-to-eat cereal, provide the same satiety benefits. The study will also determine if the two calorically equivalent oat-based breakfast cereals give different caloric intakes at a lunch meal that participants will eat to their satisfaction.
- Detailed Description
The Second trial (Period 2): An additional 48 healthy men and women 18 years of age or older will be enrolled to investigate the satiety and food intake at lunch after a breakfast consisting of one of two randomly assigned oat-based cereals and milk breakfast. Visual analogue scales of hunger and satiety will be completed before breakfast and at, 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes following consumption. Subjects will be asked to eat Lunch until satisfied. The subjects will have the two breakfasts in a balanced and random order and the two meal tests will be separated by at least a week.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Satiety Impact Baseline to 2 days Breakfast containing 250 kcal of Oat-based breakfast cereal will cause people to eat less at lunch compared to a breakfast containing 250 kcal of the ready-to-eat oat-based breakfast cereal. Area under the curve (AUC) of appetite and satiety.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Impact on food intake at lunch Baseline to 2 days You will fill out a visual analog scales at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 minutes following the start of the breakfast meal each day.
Four hours after the start of breakfast, you will be presented with a lunch and will be asked to eat to your satisfaction over 20 minutes. You will be asked how you are feeling periodically throughout the test. Area under the curve for subjective energy measures
